  4. stop making me confirm access on my phone

    Please stop making me use my phone in order ot access email on my computer. I don't have my phone with me all the time so you basically make me unable to check my own email. If you don't fix this I will have to change my primary email to my gmail...so I can actually USE it.

    Hi there,

    If there’s something unusual about your sign in or recent activity, we’ll ask you to go through another verification step after you’ve entered the correct password. This helps protect your account from unauthorized access. You may be prompted to get an Account Key verification code on your Yahoo app, recovery phone number, or recovery email address for any of the following reasons:

    - Yahoo notices suspicious account activity
    - You’re using an unfamiliar browser or device
    - You’re traveling away from your usual location
    - You sign in while using a VPN or a proxy server
    - You’ve logged in with a private or incognito window
    - There are many attempts to sign in with incorrect passwords
    - The “First time signing in from this device” message appears
    - You’ve cleared your browser history or data cache including cookies

    It is possible to turn off the Account Key…

    We recommend account key as a more secure form of verification but we recognize that it may not be convenient for everyone. Please note that you can disable account key and return to password sign in. Please see the steps to do so below:

    Manage Account Key from a web browser

    - Go to the Yahoo Account security page.
    - By “Yahoo Account Key,” click Manage.
    - Click the toggle to the right of any device you want to turn on or off.
    - Optionally, click Disable Account Key at the bottom of the screen to switch back to a password.

    Manage Account Key from a Yahoo mobile app

    - From your Account Key enabled app, tap the Menu icon Image of the side menu icon.
    - Tap the Account Key icon Image of the Account Key icon..
    - Tap Manage Account Key.
    - Tap the toggle to the right…

  8. How long emails stay in trash.

    I may have deleted an email that contained important information. I don't know, because I can't tell how long it is until my trash folder gets cleared. I would very much like to change this in settings. For example, I would set it to delete emails after they've been in there for a month, so if it takes me a few weeks to realise I've deleted an important email, I can still get it back.

    By default, both the Trash and Spam folders empty automatically to keep your account tidy. You cannot change the Trash and Spam settings.

    Trash deletion frequency – Trash is deleted after 7 days.
    Spam deletion frequency – Spam is deleted after 30 days.

  9. Log In

    Allow me to use (and save) my password to access e-Mail. Sending me a notification requiring me to respond "Yes" on a Yahoo app on my phone is not working nor is it convenient

  10. disposable email

    You need to add the ability for a user to delete the entirety of their disposable email address. The instructions for creating a disposable email address are not clear that creating a "base name" is a one-time process, and not something you do each time you create a disposable email address. I have an email address I have had for about 20 years, and you are telling me the ONLY way to change a mistakenly made "base name" is to delete my Yahoo account and make a new one. Very poor.

  11. Filters do not work very often.

    The filters do not work very often. I have created multiple versions for some emails and they still keep showing up in my inbox. Even ones I created a long time ago only work occasionally. Why is this so hard?

    Often times, filters won’t work because they are too specific, or too broad. Double check your filter parameters to make sure you aren’t being too precise or too vague.

    Also, keep in mind that filters work on position: filters at the top of the list will take priority over lower ones. Our Spam filters also override any filters on the account, so if something is deemed to be Spam, it will ignore filters on the account and go there.

    Currently, you can’t block domains in New Mail. Since spammers use so many different addresses to send junk, it’s best to mark these emails as Spam rather than trying to block every domain. This helps our system block these emails better in the future.

    Our Spam filters override any filters on the account, so if something is deemed to be Spam, it will ignore filters and blocked addresses on the account and go there.

    Thank you!

  14. Password Change Process

    Why is changing a password so hard? I had gotten a notification on my phone saying that someone logged into my account, I successfully removed the person off my account but as I was in the process of changing my password all that came up was "use your email" or "use your phone" to sign in. This is helpful to use but that's not what I wanted. I want to change my password and every time I tried to it doesn't give me the option I'm looking for. I don't want to be linked to that help page either because…

  20. Notifications on main yahoo page. Please allow an option for them to be disabled. They are almost always irrelevant.

    Please allow for an option to disable notifications on the main yahoo page that link to random (or perhaps poorly targeted) articles. It is mildly annoying to constantly see 2 or 3 "notifications" which upon examination, are merely clickbait or random news, not actually a meaningful or pertinent notification (eg. amber alert, impending nuclear disaster, etc.)
